Mommy's Plate

I remember eating macaroni and cheese off this plate when I was a kid. It came from McDonald's and I am still not quite sure how I came to posess it, but I have it and now it is a special treat when Finley gets to eat her macaroni and cheese off it. The only difference is, she has sausage on the side (which I still cannot imagine eating!) Last night I made shrimp and Finley was obsessed, I think she ate more than I did. Prior to this, she has only eaten fried shrimp, so I was pleasantly surprised that she enjoyed sauteed shrimp. My guess is she ate it because she is obsessed with all things pink. I think she had a 30 minute meltdown this morning because she couldn't wear a pink dress. Then it was on to needing a pink dish for her breakfast. And a pink spoon. It isn't only pink things, it is mainly that things have to "match", her fork has to match her plate. And even stranger, she likes to match her food to her plate. If she has banana slices, it has to be in a yellow bowl with a yellow fork. The one sticking point is that we don't own any pink forks!

We have done three days at the new gym so far and Finley is loving it. Miss Cecelia and Miss Michelle are so nice with her and they even did an Easter egg craft with her today. Miss Michelle has a little girl the same age as Finley, though she says Finley is much calmer. I am so glad it has been an easy transition for her. The transition for me hasn't been as easy =)
